Community Meeting – John Gorrie Junior High


Please make plans to attend a community meeting regarding the future use of John Gorrie Junior High. The meeting will be held Monday, March 16 from 6:30 -8:30pm in Craig Hall in the Church of the Good Shepherd located at the corner of Park and Stockton.

For those of you who haven't heard, the Duval County School Board recently sold the school to Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver and his wife, Delores Barr Weaver, under the name John Gorrie Investment Group LLC. This meeting has been called to get community input as to the possible future use. Working with architect Jack Diamond, the Weavers are considering converting the facility into affordable housing for nurses and teachers. Another option is to convert the facility for charter school use.

The Stockton Street Vision Plan has been approved and is in the works. John Gorrie Junior High will have a considerable impact on the entire area. Now is your chance to be heard. Bring your ideas. This is an important meeting.
